"At liberty, in a free environment, unrestrained, with the absence of
tack, a bond is created through a series of companionship interactions
that are naturally enjoyable to the horse. This bond is the key to a magical relationship with your horse. I teach horse and human how to dance together energetically so that their souls and lives are enriched."

"In traditional horse training, they're
going to go in there and they're going to find what they don't like,
they're going to resist it, and they're going to erase it. I don't want
to go in and find what I don't like about a horse. I don't want to move
into resistance. I want to lead that horse where that horse would
follow."

-- Robin Gates

"Robin is not only
passionate and talented in her work with horses, she is equally gifted
in her ability to relate to and communicate with her human students."

Laurie Plumber

"Robin is more than an extraordinary horse trainer...she is able to
model and transmit her understanding, her skills and her compassion to
even the most timid, uncertain and awkward of her students with profound
patience and abiding grace."

"What I learned from Robin Gates was life changing for me and for my
horse!"
